Designline Stainless Steel Solid Shelving Storage Rack

Name: Designline Stainless Steel Solid Shelving Storage Rack
Brand: Designline
SKU: DL-RS

These stainless steel shelving racks from Designline are a straightforward, practical storage solution for commercial kitchens. Built from solid stainless steel throughout, they are intended for ambient and dry storage of ingredients, equipment, and consumables in professional food service environments. Each unit ships with adjustable-height flanged feet, allowing the rack to sit level on finished floor surfaces and to be secured in place where required.

In day-to-day kitchen use, solid stainless steel shelving of this type is commonly found in dry stores, prep areas, pot washes, and back-of-house storage rooms. The solid shelf surface is well suited to storing items that benefit from a stable, non-perforated base — boxed goods, large containers, heavy equipment, and similar. Where ventilation around stored items is a priority, Designline also offer a perforated shelf variant, which is worth considering for refrigerated or humidity-sensitive storage contexts.

The practical advantages of stainless steel shelving in a commercial setting are well established:

Non-porous surface resists moisture, grease, and bacteria build-up
Robust construction handles the weight demands of busy kitchen storage
Adjustable feet allow levelling on uneven or finished floor surfaces
Easy to wipe down and maintain to food hygiene standards
Suitable for use in both ambient and cool storage environments

These racks are a sensible choice for small to medium kitchens, catering operations, and any site needing reliable, hygienic shelving without unnecessary complexity. For larger sites or high-density storage requirements, heavier-duty racking configurations may be more appropriate — it is worth considering your load requirements and available floor space before ordering.

If you are fitting out a storage area and are unsure whether solid or perforated shelving best suits your needs, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

Frequently asked questions

Should I choose solid or perforated shelving for my kitchen?

Solid shelving is the better choice for storing boxed goods, heavy containers, or items that need a stable, flat base. Perforated shelving is more appropriate where airflow around stored items matters — for example in refrigerated units or where you are storing produce that benefits from ventilation. If you are unsure which suits your application, it is worth speaking to us before ordering.

Can these racks be fixed to the floor, and is that a requirement?

Each rack comes with adjustable flanged feet that allow it to be secured to a finished floor surface, which is advisable in most commercial kitchens for stability and to meet hygiene inspection requirements. Whether fixing is mandatory will depend on your local environmental health guidance and the loads you intend to store.

Are these racks suitable for refrigerated or walk-in cold room storage?

Stainless steel shelving of this type is generally suitable for cool and refrigerated environments, as stainless steel handles low temperatures without deteriorating. However, if you are fitting out a cold room or blast-chill area, it is worth confirming the specific configuration and load requirements with us to make sure you are ordering the right unit for that environment.
